The Ludwig Muzeum was actually a collection belonging to Peter and Irene Ludwig. They collected various paintings from Hungary as well as the rest of the World and gave it place under one roof in this museum. Their main aim was to build the gap between art of East and West. There are art works from the 60s and 70s from the genre of Eastern European Avant Garde that are sure to give you a taste of both of the art worlds. Pieces by Roy Lichtenstein, Andy Warhol, Jasper Johns and Claes Oldenburg are the highlights of this place.

Absolutely outstanding!
All the people must visit this museum, it is like Mecca for Muslims! Very impressive and more than well done organized and managed! Bravo, Irene and Peter Ludwig - they were the founders of the Ludwig Museum – Museum of Contemporary Art, Budapest!
This family had a collection of more than 12 thousand works of art, range from antiquities to contemporary art. The pieces they have donated or lent are on display at 30 museums worldwide, including institutions in Budapest, Cologne, Vienna and Beijing!

Interesting exhibits, but not that large. Maybe one floor being closed off for exhibit construction makes a significant difference.
The One-minute Works on the 1st floor were pretty unique and presented a cool way for the audience to become part of the art!

Liked it a lot. A nice and interesting museum. Only minus was that it was very high up and I am terrified of heights haha

Museum looks well maintained.
However the overall quality of the exhibitions was (in my opinion) very poor.
The artists did get an emotional reaction from me - mainly disbelief that I paid to see some of this stuff.
The only thing that saved this museum was that they had a few Picassios upstairs.
